Problems solved by technology

However the procedures as described above are often difficult to complete successfully because once the needle is removed, the remaining guidewire lacks the rigidity to provide adequate support for the catheter device.
This makes it difficult to push the catheter device through the bowel wall and into the luminal structure.
Furthermore, the small diameter guidewire has a tendency to dislodge during the exchange of the needle for the balloon catheter which causes a loss of lumen access and necessitates repeating the procedure.
Even when successful, the physician is required to make many exchanges of the needle, guidewire and or catheters which can make the technique cumbersome and time consuming.

Abstract

An apparatus and method for performing needle guided interventions and especially needle guided dilations of tissue to create a therapeutic conduit between two luminal organs or structures. The device is particularly useful for creation of an artificial lumen between two hollow body organs using the working lumen of an endoscope.

Description

PRIORITY INFORMATION[0001]This application claims priority to U.S. Provisional Application No. 60 / 634,254 filed on Dec. 8, 2004, the entire contents of which are hereby expressly incorporated by reference.BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION[0002]1. Field of the Invention[0003]Disclosed is a device and method for performing needle guided interventions and especially needle guided dilations of tissue to create a therapeutic conduit between two luminal organs or structures. The device is particularly useful for creation of an artificial lumen between hollow body organs using the working lumen of an endoscope.[0004]2. Description of the Related Art[0005]Often there is a need to create a luminal passageway between two lumen containing organs in the body. Examples of these would be between a segment of bowel and another structure such as another section of bowel, gallbladder, bile or pancreatic duct. Often the second luminal structure is not an organ but rather a cyst, pseudocyst or abscess.[0006...
